The world population changed relatively little between the years 1200 and 1400. Which of the following statements about this tim
IRINA_888 [86]
C

Given that the World population changed little between this time, we can gather than the birth and death rates were similar, since they seem to cancel each other out from 1200-1400. To clarify, think of this. If you add something to a total (think births to population), but take away the same number (think deaths from population) you end up with the same total as before. Because of this, A is the correct answer choice (The birth rate and death rate were about equal).

All of the following are potential effects of clearing land except __________.
Eduardwww [97]
The correct answer is B. Less arable land.
Arable land is the main reason why the land is cleared. Arable land is the land that is suitable for ploughing and of sufficient quality for growing plants. So for this reason, the forests are cleared (by cutting the trees and bushes) and more land for agriculture is gained.

Review Questions 1. How is the Moon dependent on the Sun? 2. How are seasons created? 3. How does the Moon contribute to Earth's
Ivan
<span>1. The existence of moon doesn't depend on sun however moon light depends on sun as sun light incident on moon and reflected to the earth.
2. </span>The seasons are caused<span> by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun.
</span>3. With the Earth-Moon system, gravity is like a rope that pulls or keeps the two bodies together, and centrifugal force is what keeps them apart. Because the centrifugal force is greater than the Moon's gravitational pull, ocean water on the opposite side of the Earth<span> bulges outward.
</span>4. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Earth's shadow obscures the moon or a portion of it. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun.
5. In particular, the Sun is essentially unaffected by Earth or the Moon. The tug of gravity from Earth has a very tiny effect upon the Sun - almost certainly not noticeable compared to the effects that may be produced by Jupiter or Saturn. <span>
The Earth ''depends'' upon the Sun to stay in an orbit, and it ''depends'' upon the Sun for the radiant energy and light it produces. More specifically, the plants and animals on Earth depend on these things. Quite frankly, the large ball of rock under our feet doesn't care. Period. 
And of course, the Moon creates tides - that are rather important in various ways to the flora and fauna of Earth. 

So the Moon ''depends'' upon the Earth as a focal point for its own orbitting.</span><span>
